Utopic Memories Landcapes

Series of Collages.
Source: Found Postcards.

A series of extra-ordinary landscapes crated – through visual comparison – by the use of anonymous found postcards.

The landscapes usually depicted in the postcards are deeply stereotypical and suggest, per se, a parallel reading:

the “real” place, depicted in the postcard.

the imaginary “mythicized” place self-represented through the reality of photographic fiction.

The collages are assembled without any digital intervention but just by comparing and combining the “original” pictures, in order to highlight the embedded scenarios inside the pictures, as a mapping of impossible spaces (or like a kitsch version of the island of utopia).
